Early years
DuckDuckGo was founded by Gabriel Weinberg and launched on February 29, 2008, in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

That's kind of funny!
Sad, but funny.
If you put the subdomain 'noai' in front of duckduckgo, you can avoid that slop
https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
And it's more private1, obviously.
As well "DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google."2
It's not for everyone, but if you are able to self-host your own SearxNG at home, I find it's the best option: controlling your own meta search engine3
I was very pleased to be able to add https://marginalia-search.com/ to my mix of results yesterday after the lead dev, Viktor, emailed me an api key 🙂 . I gave it a weight of 1.2 I think.
